Design with this plant

Overview

The Alpine Fir, Abies lasiocarpa, is a slender, evergreen conifer perfect for vertical accents in landscape designs. Typically reaching 20-30 feet, its dense, blue-green needles provide year-round color and texture. Hardy in zones 4-7, it requires well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. A slow grower, it's ideal for small spaces or as a focal point. Deer-resistant, it adds a touch of alpine elegance to any setting.
